    I live outside of US, on disability pension which is way below the average income here, but I can do keto. My usual weekly diet is : 2 of 2lbs whole chicken , 1lb beef necks, 30 eggs, 7oz goose fat, 2lbs chicken/turkey liver/hearts, 4lbs frozen cauliflower, tea,ginger for total of 18 USD for 7days. Btw keto is working started on 490lbs now 400lbs after 5months with no exercises at all.

    Update: even tho I am not keto anymore( I am plant base) this can still work, but I just wanted to put a warning for my younger people out there, doing diets like this can cause issues in the long run like your relationships With food, and I suffered from that and body dysmorphia.

    Decided to start KETO 4 days ago. My husband and I are making that change. He’s a New York Italian, so he’s dying without his carb filled pizzas and pastas, but we want to change for the better! I’m getting that nasty Taste in m mouth already, and I think that’s a good sign lol. Plus, I went a little crazy and spent over $300 on groceries. Yes. I said $300. This has really helped me tremendously, thank you so much to you both! I’m currently 220 after 90 radiation treatments and also have hypoglycemia on top of it.

    RECIPE: I looove cabbage and heres my favorite keto way. Use bacon fat or cook bacon to add later to cabbage. Rough chop cabbage in 1 inch pieces. Add to hot fat and saute on medium-med hi heat. Add seasonings like dry herbs, parsley or lemon seasoning. once the water is all cooked out this is where the magic happens. Go full blast High temp and try to caramalize some bits and edges of the diced cabbage(no burning). Minimal stiring for extra toastiness. & when its nice and golden brown... drop in some heavy cream to make a little saucy. 😋 U could even put it in a oven safe dish, top with some cheese for a fatty nutritious casserole. Its addicting. You wont want to stop eating it. Pro tip: if you have nutritional yeast you can add it after the heavy cream and it will thicken up nicely.

Overweight people on low incomes have a tendency to eat lots of processed foods to stretch out meals to be full, families to feed, and to save money. (Pasta, Mac and cheese, boxed or prepackaged prepared foods)
    I've been Keto for seven months and I shop at Walmart. I'm disabled and shop mainly the perimeter of the store and because most of the processed foods are in the middle of the store, I am saving so much money by not buying those items anymore. Keto can be done on a budget, and you can be successful. I'm down 43 lbs since June, 2018.
    Happy New Year 2019! Keep up the good work everyone!!

    I guess because most Keto influencer also preach that you have to eat whole grass feed beef and organic and only high quality fat sources and fresh etc.... if you do all that it gets VERY expensive very fast... Just compare your egg deal VS 60 organic, free range, only proper feed eggs. Not to mention the beef. Nice to see you keeping it real and within a budget. I am living in Ireland and thinks tend to be more on the expansive side here as well, but meal prepping and being willing to eat the same stuff several days helps a lot.

    This is how I live:
    Chicken, ground beef, eggs, butter, olive oil, and cheese form the bulk of my meals. There are two essential tricks. One is acquire a chest freezer so you can stock up on specials. The other trick is to watch the fliers issued by your local supermarket chains. You are looking for anything you consume regularly. When you see a great special on something you normally use, you buy as much of it as you will possibly use between now and the next time it comes out at that level of special. Ultimately 'everything' you buy will be bought at a great special price, bought in bulk. I live on a food budget of $5.00 a day. Shopping this way I save enough money that I can even sometimes afford to splurge on things like a big bag of coconut flour so I can do the microwave bread thing. Note that you can freeze eggs too.

      @@RobynnNinjah Yes, you have to break the eggs first, then store the results in some sort of container. I crack the eggs in meal sized quantities, in my case six/eight eggs per freezer bag. I also beat them for use as an omlette prior to storing them. You will not get sunny side up fried eggs out of frozen egg, but for most cooking purposes, freezing them does no harm. It takes very little to thaw them out too. Fill a pot with hot water from a tap and drop the bag of frozen eggs into the water. A half hour later, you have thawed egg. You won't even have to wash the pot.

    I'm excited for Spring to get here! I started Keto this past November results so far have been great. Now, I have plans for planting a "Ketogenic" garden. I am a big fan of freezing, dehydrating or canning my garden hauls each year. Veggies and fruits, fresh or frozen are getting more expensive, so I save a ton of money growing my own every year. I have limited yard space so I tend to get creative.

    Yeah guys the only different I do is buy grass fed ground beef for $6.99 at Kroger (4 meals) buy bulk chicken, bag of greens, they almost always have frozen broccoli and cauliflower for $1,and hard cheese and I spend about $25-$30 a week. Kroger is really good for Keto shopping.

    Great video! I think I could do 5 dollars a day but takes some planning. Since you both went under budget I would splurge on some cream cheese and cream...and maybe frozen cauliflower or broccoli. Making ground beef with a bit of cream/cream cheese adds a lot. Other days I would add Mexican spices to ground beef.

    I couldn't read all of the comments. If I am repeating someone else, sorry. My husband and I are truckers. We tried keto last year. Several times, in fact. We start off great, but always get caught without. We pack lots of keto food into our truck. I try to prepare as much ahead as I can. But our tiny fridge/freezer won't hold much. We do have a micro, too. But, there have been several times when we have been running hard and didn't have time to restock. Or, we call ahead to a Walmart to make sure we can pull into their parking lot to shop without our truck getting booted or towed. Believe it or not, but we have been told no (rudely) many times. We do our best at the truck stops, eating bacon cheeseburgers w/o bun, or a grilled chicken salad, etc. But we get sick of eating the same thing every day. Then we wind up in the middle of nowhere, where you either eat what's there or you go hungry. I tried a keto trucker fb page last year. I left because they don't monitor what people post. They post stuff that contains corn or carrots, etc. The only fb page I use is Keto-Adaptation. I also like the recipes on ruledme.com. Then, I found you guys. So far, I really like the foods you present, especially the budget friendly stuff. Is there any way you could come up with something for us weary truckers?

    This is great. This is basically what I bought to get me started for the year and make up some ground I lost over the holidays. Seeing you guys buy almost exactly what I bought helped me feel like I was on track again. For me it was eggs, bacon, ground beef, butter, blue cheese and a bag of coffee. I went for the higher quality stuff just because I got good deals. Also I'm lucky enough to live in Florida and belong to an amazing produce co-op, so I was able to get zucchini, spinach, red onion, squash raw pecans and almonds, asparagus and brussel sprouts for $20 for the week, but it actually lasts me two plus weeks. So my budget turned out to roughly $6 to $6.50 a day. Still totally doable and satisfying and lots of variety. Looking forward to the further videos.

    I love this video. I greatly appreciate all of the content you put out and am very pleased that as you evolve to show better quality foods, increased selections and lots of recipes you haven't forgotten the many people that might not give this way of living a try due to cost concerns. I vividly remember a time when I would only have $70 to buy 2 weeks of groceries and had to carry it home on transit, so not a lot of heavy bulk items were possible. Keto has vastly improved my health and I love these videos that remind people that anyone can afford this lifestyle.

    I have been living on Goya Sardines in Olive oil ($2.59 a can in the Philadelphia Walmart). I agree $2.59 for a small can of sardines is not necessarily cheap. However, quality is pretty good and I think it is very filling if paired with an avocado, 2 ounces of cheese and one slice of bacon. It sounds nasty, but it tastes good.

    It's an overstatement to say that vegetables are out of the question. Canned greens are very cheap, about 50 cents a can (~3 servings) at Walmart. Fresh might taste better, but this video is all about compromise.

    • @loganjones5766
      @loganjones5766 Pƙed 5 lety +2

      Their point was the cost per calorie not that people can't afford vegetables. A can of green beans for example might only cost $0.50 but it probably only has like 25 calories in the whole can. On the other hand a $2.50 pack of butter has probably a couple thousand calories. It's a way better calorie to dollar ratio.

    • @MrDavidknigge
      @MrDavidknigge Pƙed 5 lety +2

      All the micro-nutrients in vegetables are also in meat plus they are more bio-available. But having said that, canned veggies are fine nutrient wise.

      You are correct but the main thing that most keto friendly vegetables just don't really provide is many calories. Trying to get 2000 calories from green vegetables is almost impossible and would be a very expensive diet as well. Better to look at them as just a way to add variety to your meals.

      @@loganjones5766 But you also need micronutrients not just calories. Actually adding some low calorie foods can make you feel fuller because you feel like you're eating more.Eating a pound of butter and nothing else in a day will give you all the calories you need but won't be very satisfying for most people.
